Accessibility Request: Click-to-Cast Skill Bar Option

I wanted to submit a small accessibility feature request for Path of Exile 2.

I have a physical disability that makes keyboard usage difficult, so I often rely primarily on mouse input when gaming. PoE2 already supports binding skills to mouse buttons, which helps a lot, but currently the skill icons on the hotbar cannot be clicked directly to activate the associated skill.

Would it be possible to add an optional “click-to-cast” mode for skill bar icons? If it were for the visible hotbar skills, this would significantly improve accessibility for players who have limited keyboard mobility or who rely on alternative input methods.

While extra mouse buttons are sometimes suggested as an alternative, those can also be difficult to use consistently depending on hand mobility and dexterity. Reaching for side buttons or rapidly distinguishing between multiple small buttons can become physically exhausting or unreliable during longer gameplay sessions. In contrast, directly clicking larger on-screen skill icons would be much easier and more manageable.

Many other ARPGs and some MMOs allow clickable hotbars, and since PoE2 already has mouse-driven skill systems in place, this seems like it could fit naturally as an optional setting rather than a gameplay change.

I understand there may be gameplay/UI concerns, especially given PoE2’s combat pacing/dynamics, but having the option available would make the game much more accessible for players like me.

Thank you for all the work you’ve put into PoE2, and thank you for considering the suggestion.

If anyone else has any comments or concerns, please don't hesitate to share.
